We have received word from it-austria.com that their antivirus software has been
adjusted, and it-austria's members have been restored to the nvl list. Although 
we
have precedence:bulk in our config file for the nvl list, it is not being sent. 
We
are investigating this problem.

Thank you all for your suggestions and patient understanding during this
